We can legalise all Criminal Record Documents. It is necessary for Enhanced Disclosure Scotland documents checks to be legalised by apostille for various reasons.
  • Apostille Criminal Records Documents Replacement

The Enhanced Disclosure CRB Check is the highest level of CRB check available. It is suitable for those who will have a great degree of contact with children or vulnerable adults, or for workers undertaking services on regulated or controlled activity sites such as Schools or Adult Care Homes.

An Enhanced Disclosure CRB check will detail all cautions, warnings, reprimands and convictions held on an individual?s criminal record. The Children/ Vulnerable adults Barred Lists is also checked, this is a list which details all those barred by law from working with children or vulnerable adults. Those who are on the Children/Vulnerable adults Barred list and who work with children or vulnerable adults are committing a criminal offence.

The Enhanced Disclosure CRB check also includes a section called ?Other Relevant Police Information?, which can be filled in by the applicant?s local police force. This section holds additional notes which could be relevant to the check.

Who requires an Enhanced Disclosure CRB check?

  • Those who are involved in teacher training, supervision, Advice, Treatment and Transport of children or vulnerable adults will require an Enhanced Disclosure CRB check.
  • Any profession which involves contact with children or vulnerable adults e.g. Contractors on a School site, or those working directly with children in any other occupation would qualify for an Enhanced Disclosure CRB check.
  • Those working in schools, care homes, or hospital premises for more than 3 days out of 30, or overnight between the hours of 2AM - 6AM also require an Enhanced Disclosure CRB check.

Types of disclosure

  • Basic Scotland Disclosure contains only convictions considered unspent under The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
  • Standard Scotland Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, including cautions.
  • Enhanced Scotland Disclosure contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, and any other non conviction information considered to be relevant by the police or other Government bodies.
  • Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme Membership contains all conviction information, spent and unspent, and any other non conviction information considered to be relevant by the police or other Government bodies.
  • Please Note: Disclosure Scotland will continue to process applications for the small number of enhanced disclosures that remain under the Police Act for purposes other than Regulated Work with Children or Protected Adults. Regulated work is the term used by the PVG Act to define the types of work which barred individuals must not do, and for which PVG Scheme membership is available.
